True.

Kessie MVP easily. Such a dominating presence in midfield, won so many balls today. The rest looked a bit shaky.

"Pending the official report, according to Sky Sport reports, Ante Rebic's injury could concern his elbow. The Croatian striker should have suffered a dislocated elbow. The player could undergo a control plate at the Crotone Hospital."

I read at least a month out.

It's a good thing there's the NT break after next weekend. At least we can get some players back (Ibra and Romagnoli mostly).

Well, not a great performance but it is 3 points. As per the commentator, Milan did just enough to win. EL next ...

Rebic is the big concern.

Roma - Rube 2-2. Neither team looked particularly impressive. OTOH, Napoli ...

Juve were sh*t, Roma had so many chances to make it 3-1 but they wasted them.

Next week, Juve-Napoli could be interesting. Would not be surprised if Napoli wins it. I think Rino is doing a very good job, while I am not sure what Pirlo is doing (or why he was even put in charge). CR7 is still the best and they have other very good players, but Juve's defense leaks goals, and the team feels ... confused.

As for Roma, the rumor is that Fonseca's days are numbered and Rangnick is due to take over.

Here's to hoping.

He was playing as a striker and trying to play a similar role to Ibra. Plus I think he's struggling a bit to regain his form. Think of it this way, the others already have 4 games under their belt while this is his second game.

Still was decisive when we needed it though which is what I've come to expect from him


The terrible pitch is what caused Rebic to go down so awkwardly on his arm. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Tonali and Diaz with good showings. That pass to Calabria from Tonali was pure quality.


I think we played within ourselves to conserve energy. It's been a really tough start to the season with so many games squeezed in. It can't be easy to jump into the season with so many fixtures. We still played a very good first 50 minutes or so and got the 3 points, which is all that matters. And even when we took our foot off the pedal after the 2nd goal, I didn't for once think we would concede


The Rebic injury is a big blow. Hopefully we close the Hauge deal this week

Pioli said Leao might play a few minutes tomorrow so he shouldn't start. I expect the same line-up as vs Crotone with Colombo and Bennacer instead of Rebic and Tonali.

Sort of fear this game. We have too many absences. Not sure how good Rio Ave is but they've tied the first two games of the league so far.

I think this game will be easier than the last two. However, anything can happen in a single game (with two games you have a chance to recover if something goes badly wrong).

I really fear this game too. I wish if we had completed the Hauge deal sooner to at least have him on the bench.
Rumor has it that Maldini will be starting ahead of Colombo.

But I don't think Hauge can play in EL anymore having already played with Bodoe, no?

Maldini and Castillejo starting. Kinda weird choices by Pioli.

Let's see if we'll f*ck this up.

Castillejo is trash. Like, absolute trash. Mesbah level of trash.

Only managed to watch last 10 minutes or so. Not good, we have a non-existing attack and Rio is starting to get dangerous. Samu is s**t, and I have no idea why we are playing Maldini (he is out of position and not proven even in his natural position).

Got meetings coming up, will try to watch the rest of the game ...

Forza Milan! (We need this, mercato choices depend on EL)
